==Plot Synopsis==
==Plot synopsis==
The episode begins with Cranky Kong angrily being awoken from sleep due to the yelling of Eddie the Mean Old Yeti from the [[Gorilla Glacier|White Mountains]]. Cranky decides to create a potion to quiet him down, so he checks a large book with the recipe for it. As he puts together the ingredients, he grabs the secret ingredient, which he reads should not be put into the potion until it is ready to use. Cranky puts the ingredient in and drinks it to test the potion.

Meanwhile, [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[Funky Kong]] lay outside of [[Funky's Flights]] completely tired; the three, like Cranky, could not fall asleep from the sound coming from Eddie the Yeti. The [[Kong]]s wonder what is making the yeti so cranky, and they soon conclude that, the older Eddie gets, the meaner he gets. The meaner he gets, the noisier he gets, which makes everyone else crankier. A hologram of Cranky Kong from the [[Crystal Coconut]] interrupts their conversation, showing Cranky laughing hysterically. Cranky tells them to get to [[Cranky's Cabin|his cabin]] before he can explain what he is doing. The Kongs obey and head over.

Eddie the Mean Old Yeti has even kept the [[Kremling]]s awake, when they are shown in the hideout completely tired and annoyed. [[King K. Rool]] wakes [[General Klump]] from his sleep and asks what is causing the loud noise that is keeping the whole [[Kongo Bongo|island]] awake. Klump explains that he and the troops have found that the disturbance is coming from the White Mountains, but they do not know exactly where in the mountains it is. The crocodile king commands his minion to search for its location. Before Klump leaves, he falls asleep again, which greatly angers King K. Rool.

The Kongs soon arrive in Cranky's Cabin, where Cranky announces that he has found something to put Eddie the Yeti in a better mood: the "Tickle Tonic." Donkey Kong offers to take it to Eddie, but Cranky explains that only he can do it, telling them about the secret ingredient that must be added right before the potion is used. Cranky quickly leaves to catch Funky's plane ride, to the Kongs' surprise, to make the short trip before Donkey and Diddy mess something up. Cranky commands them to watch the Crystal Coconut while he is gone, but the Kongs immediately have the urge to sleep again when he exits the cabin. Diddy decides to find a mega-vitamin drink and quickly scurries over to the old ape's potions to find something to keep themselves awake. Though Donkey Kong does not feel to sure about this, he and Diddy check for a recipe in Cranky's book. After the ape reads the recipe, he begins to sing the names of the ingredients in song, and Diddy joins in. The words from their song, "then say coconut and it should float," cause the Crystal Coconut to float out of the cabin, and the Kongs, realizing that it was a spell instead of a recipe, begin to chase it.

Later at Cranky's Cabin, Cranky says a spell that keeps the Crystal Coconut from floating. The Kongs are relieved that it is now safe, and Donkey and Diddy try to apologize, even though Cranky simply wants to go to sleep. The Kongs leave his cabin to go to sleep themselves, but when Cranky tries to sleep, he hears the constant laughter of Eddie the Mean Old Yeti from the White Mountains and is kept awake.
